Apparently he cut the defense enough. We got 9-ll.

Are you kidding me? 9-11 did not happen due to a lack of military resources. We had 10 times the military resources we would have ever needed to stop those attacks. Instead we had such a bloated government that it was impossible for one part to talk to another. Even with a military that could have easily taken out the airliners in plenty of time, the information was never passed. If the government was smaller then coordination would have been easier before and during the attacks. The defense budget (which was more than 1/3rd of the defense budget of the entire world at the time) was more than enough to have combated the attacks.

I agree with you on bloated government and our departments can’t talk to each other; but the military budget was cut.

I would like to see the departments moved around the country instead of being in one place. Too much concentrated power can not be good.

And I don’t know that our military would have been ready to do this epsecially after the Clintons and 8 years.
